Are you trying to burn to DVD media? If so you will need third party burning
software as no versions of Windows, prior to Vista, can burn natively to DVD
media. What file format does MCE save the files in? I don't use it but I'd
suspect WMV. If so you should be able to use Nero or Nero Vision to burn WMV
files to DVD.
